Makes me wonder if putting off the expensive maintenance or doing improperly doesn't play a big hand in all of these engine problems. Wereas a $20 jiffy lube, among other inexpensive maintenance items on an American or Japanese car, would prolong durability.
Mine is a daily driver. I get annoyed when I have to drive my backup Honda Civic to work. Even though the Honda is a LOT easier to drive with the automatic and great gas mileage just under 40, BUT, it reminds me how much fun the Boxster is to drive...and my Box gets around 30mpg commuting. And a few head turns every trip.
